Episode notes
Personal Perimenopause Wake-Up
- Dr. Mariza Snyder watched her mother's destabilizing perimenopause and then was blindsided by perimenopause herself at 43 while postpartum.
- She documented symptoms, ran labs, and returned to cycle tracking to identify patterns and causes.
Track Your Cycle Consistently
- Track your menstrual cycle and symptoms daily to reveal repeating patterns during perimenopause.
- Use that data to time interventions and understand when symptoms spike, often in the luteal phase.
Biometrics Reveal Hidden Dysregulation
- Bloodwork may look 'normal' while inflammation markers and biometrics reveal dysfunction during perimenopause.
- HRV, resting heart rate, and recovery often show early dysregulation even if hormones test in range.
